You are given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2, sorted in non-decreasing order, and two integers m and n, representing the number of elements in nums1 and nums2 respectively.
Merge nums1 and nums2 into a single array sorted in non-decreasing order.
The final sorted array should not be returned by the function, but instead be stored inside the array nums1. To accommodate this, nums1 has a length of m + n, where the first m elements denote the elements that should be merged, and the last n elements are set to 0 and should be ignored. nums2 has a length of n.
Example 1:
Input: nums1 = [1,2,3,0,0,0], m = 3, nums2 = [2,5,6], n = 3
Output: [1,2,2,3,5,6]
Explanation: The arrays we are merging are [1,2,3] and [2,5,6].
The result of the merge is [1,2,2,3,5,6] with the underlined elements coming from nums1.
Example 2:
Input: nums1 = [1], m = 1, nums2 = [], n = 0
Output: [1]
Explanation: The arrays we are merging are [1] and [].
The result of the merge is [1].
Example 3:
Input: nums1 = [0], m = 0, nums2 = [1], n = 1
Output: [1]
Explanation: The arrays we are merging are [] and [1].
The result of the merge is [1].
Note that because m = 0, there are no elements in nums1. The 0 is only there to ensure the merge result can fit in nums1.
Constraints:
- nums1.length == m + n
- nums2.length == n
- 0 <= m, n <= 200
- 1 <= m + n <= 200
- -109 <= nums1[i], nums2[j] <= 109
Follow up: Can you come up with an algorithm that runs in O(m + n) time?
completion:
class Solution {
public void merge(int[] nums1, int m, int[] nums2, int n) {
int index_1 = m - 1, index_2 = n - 1;
for (int i = m + n - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
if (index_1 >= 0 && index_2 >= 0) {
if (nums1[index_1] >= nums2[index_2]) {
nums1[i] = nums1[index_1];
index_1--;
} else {
nums1[i] = nums2[index_2];
index_2--;
}
} else if (index_1 >= 0) {
nums1[i] = nums1[index_1];
index_1--;
} else if (index_2 >= 0) {
nums1[i] = nums2[index_2];
index_2--;
}
}
}
